Replying To Kew: "I heard early in the league that he had agreed to be back for championship. He is going to the new York game and will be training with them while in America but who knows if it will work out he will be too fair off the pace I'd imagine" Can anyone else verify this? He'd be a great addition with his athlethicism ans scoring ability. Was badly missed in last years final. centrefield99 (Galway) - Posts: 143 - 27/03/2025 11:11:00 2598871 Link
they used to laugh about the english media when england got knocked out of a world cup or euros championship and the same players they lauded before the competition where the ones they had the sharp knives out for after. you wont find a forum with more toxic messages on here then the galway football forum. reading some posts above - mcdaid, conroy, kelly are finished, even better they are not making some peoples first 15 teams. cavan.galway (Galway) - Posts: 226 - 27/03/2025 11:13:23 2598873 Link

Relax good man. Throwing out buzzwords like toxic. I haven't seen anyone in the past number of pages, say any of those players are finished. I have seen comments that McDaid hasn't been near his best form, which is true. At his best he's an incredible player. I've seen people say that they have concerns over Conroy's legs, especially with the increased running in the middle third this year. Again, that's a legitimate concern and I'm sure one that management have planned for. That has nothing to do with his ability as a footballer. Some have also said we need to find the best position for Sean Kelly. He's been a lot more prominent in recent weeks at carrying the ball forward and trying to punch holes. But we've also looked more open defensively. Debating those points isn't negative or toxic, as you say. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2257 - 27/03/2025 12:43:00 2598891 Link

You are right. They are all playing brilliant and no worries what so ever. Sam in the bag. hopballref (Galway) - Posts: 427 - 27/03/2025 13:38:00 2598903 Link

Hopes he back but by coincidence team has gone well the years he has been absent and his pass in 23 at end lead to Armagh qualifying. jm25 (Galway) - Posts: 1417 - 27/03/2025 14:26:23 2598917 Link

Sounds like a lot of supporters missed out on tickets for the new York game Kew (Galway) - Posts: 144 - 27/03/2025 15:08:56 2598921 Link
Replying To Kew: "I heard early in the league that he had agreed to be back for championship. He is going to the new York game and will be training with them while in America but who knows if it will work out he will be too fair off the pace I'd imagine" This is nonsense. He doesn't even live in New York anymore, he's moved to London. Either way he should come back to the squad in the next week or two before it's too late.

Totally agree but a couple of things, he can break the line and there are less defenders now and he's both a 2 point and kick out option. That punt pass from Conroy into Tierney for the goal as it was the exact same against Dublin the week before but he hit the post. Cooke is an option for that move too. Good ball winner. smallfrank (Galway) - Posts: 477 - 27/03/2025 17:35:42 2598960 Link
